Made for UAE homes
Flame Tree (Delonix regia) — 30Ltr makes a room feel alive.
The gulmohar that turns whole Dubai streets red from May to July, supplied at 30-litre garden grade so it establishes in one season rather than five. Wide, flat canopy — plant it where you want shade over a majlis or a driveway, at least 4m from a wall, because the surface roots run. Full sun, deep water twice weekly through the first summer, then it looks after itself. Deciduous for a few weeks in late winter; that is normal, not dieback.

Safety: Seeds and pods cause stomach upset if eaten by dogs or livestock. See pet-safe alternatives.
In UAE homes: Flowers scarlet May to July, exactly when nothing else does — but the surface roots lift paving, so keep it 4m clear of walls, pool decks and drive slabs.
Watering figures are ranges, not schedules — pot size, light and the season shift them. Check the top 2-3cm of soil and water only when it is dry. From the UAE Plant Index.

Flame Tree (Delonix regia) — 30Ltr: common questions
When does the flame tree flower in the UAE?
Delonix regia flowers scarlet from roughly May to July in the UAE, peaking in June — the months when almost nothing else in a Gulf garden is in bloom. It is briefly deciduous in late winter, which is normal and not a sign of dieback.
How far from a wall should I plant a flame tree?
Keep a flame tree at least 4 metres from walls, pool decks, driveway slabs and drainage runs. Its shallow surface roots spread wide and are the most common cause of lifted paving in UAE villa gardens.

Most plants sold in the UAE were grown outdoors, moved indoors, and handed over in a grow pot with no aftercare. We acclimatise ours to air-conditioned air first, pot them properly, insulate them against the drive, and stay on WhatsApp after the box is open.
